"Give me an ear and I will..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“You are good when you are fully awake in your speech, Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose. And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.”

“For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.”

“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.”

“If you're sincere, praise is effective. If you're insincere, it's manipulative.”

“Laughter is America's most important export.”

“I went to a 7-11 and asked for a 2x4 and a box of 3x5's. The clerk said, "ten-four."”

“It was said of him that he did not say much, but that when he did everyone stopped to listen.”

“The extreme pleasure we take in speaking of ourselves should make us apprehensive that it gives hardly any to those who listen to us.”

“The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.”
